Hi from Middle East

Hi I am a 34 year old woman from Middle East. I really feel depressed by my panic attacks. I feel I am worthless, I am guilty, I don't have right to be alive. I have a very good husband that I love so much, we have a son. I have very good parents and very good siblings, I always have had everything in my life. My husband has a good job and we are a family that I know many people wish to had. But what makes trouble for me is my social phobia. I think it is the worst thing. I can't enjoy anything when I want to enter a crowded place I will have panic attack. I can remember that in school I always was afraid to read something loudly. I thought I could not finish my school but I did it and I go to university I really fight my anxiety and I also did my MS. No need to say how much it was hard for me to do presentations. The worst part was communicating with opposite sex. Oh my god when I want to make an eye contact with boys I wanted to die. I thought everyone thinks I am in love with that guy then I prefer to avoid male. How I married? With difficulty I really control myself when I wanted to speak to my husband.   They are even good parts of my life I experienced a turning point in my life about more than 2 years ago. Once that I saw my sister in law and her husband in a party I began to have panic attack the worst one that I had ever experienced. You can feel how embarrassing it was for me to have a panic attack before eyes of my husband and his family. I thought everyone thought I had that attack because of her husband as he is very handsome. From then I will always have panic attack when I want to see him. From 1 week I am thinking how I can control myself even things get worse it is about 2 months that I will have panic attack by hearing his name. I really love my husband but I feel guilty . He became very sad when he sees my reactions. Please help me I got much better by praying but I know that my problem is related to my self confidence. I know it became long because I thought about it so much

stressed newbie

Hi I know well how you feel, I have a similar situation too I work so much to gain my self confidence after an attack and I believe I can control it but exactly one moment everything becomes uncontrollable. I just want to finish my days and go to bed to think about my problem. But I get better with praying and calling God, I hope this program can help you and me and others who suffer from it
